DCUM draws the semi-hysterical and anxiety ridden crowd. I wouldn’t pay too much attention to what’s being said on here.

If APS does not open tomorrow, it’s going down. Riots in the snow covered streets.

It’s actually ice covered streets – oh the irony.

This truly surprises me, it was an APS vehicle? I did didn’t know they could have transportation work on weekends.

Why not? You can pay anyone overtime.

I think the ones I saw on Friday were for the HS swim meet and a HS basketball game.

The streets absolutely aren't clear. There are tons of places where only one car can fit through on a two way road with no spot for anyone to pull to the side. It's such a mess in my neighborhood.

Even major roads, like Langston, still have random piles of snow blocking lanes.

Yes I get this. I meant where it’s cleared it’s not icy and it’s down to pavement.

The one lane roads and piles of snow situation is going to be like that for weeks.

That's definitely a good sign!

We haven't see one yet and we are by a hub stop. Maybe they will swing by later today.

My house is on a big hill and our street is a giant sheet of several inches of ice. It's absolutely not bare pavement, even in the single lane that's been plowed.
